VHF push-pull power MOS transistor
Product specification
BLF368
APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR CLASS-AB OPERATION
Th = 25 °C; Rth mb-h = 0.15 K/W unless otherwise specified. RF performance in CW operation in a common source
class-AB circuit. RGS = 536 Ω per section; optimum load impedance per section = 1.34 + j0.34 Ω; VDS = 32 V.

Note
1. Assuming a 3rd order amplitude transfer characteristic, 1 dB compression corresponds with 30% synchronized
input/25% synchronized output compression in television service (negative modulation, CCIR system).
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF368 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 10 through all phases under the
following conditions:
VDS = 32 V; f = 225 MHz at rated output power.
